It seems that by some law of Shapeshifting, shapeshifters are unable to change their eyes, no matter how skilled they are at changing form. Showing the eye changing or corrupting into that of a different species is an effective way of showing mental takeover or transformation-induced humanity loss thanks to this. See Glamour Failure for a similar trope and Voices Are Mental for the vocal version of this trope. A specific type of Morphic Resonance. Much like Voices Are Mental, some examples may be visible to other characters, others are merely Stylized for the Viewer. Heavy overlap with Eye-Dentity Giveaway, with the major difference being in that a person's eye color or design is what indicates whether or not a person is an imposter. |

In Megamind, if you pay close attention, this is a tell for the title character's shapeshifting watch, as he still has his green eyes whenever he uses it to disguise himself as someone else, despite that someone else never having green eyes. It is used to shapeshift into someone who already has green eyes once, but in this case, it's the brown-eyed Minion disguised as Megamind while Megamind himself uses another watch with the same tell to disguise himself as Metro Man. | |

Issue 21 of the Invader Zim (Oni) comic books features a double bodyswap, featuring Zim switching with Gaz, and GIR switching with Dib. All of them kept their own eyes, except Gaz, who kept a tuft of her hair (though her eyes stay shut as is normally the case for her, so it's unclear if Zim's body now has her eyes or not). | |

A one-off villain from Darkwing Duck called Camille the Chameleon can turn into practically anything, but her unusual yellow sclera remains unchanged. Oddly enough, the characters never mention this and are only able to tell who she is by the hiss in her voice. Earlier on, in the episode "Trading Faces", an accident switches minds between Darkwing and Gosalyn and between Launchpad and Honker. They not only switch their voices, but also their eyes (Darkwing gets Gosalyn's green eyes, Gosalyn gets Darkwing's Black Dot Pupils and Honker's near-sightedness moves to Launchpad). |

From the RWBY fanfic Happily Ever After: After Pyrrha and Amber destroy Cinder's soul and Pyrrha takes over her body permanently, the eyes on the body change from Cinder's yellow to Pyrrha's green. It's left unclear if the eyes changed earlier when Pyrrha temporarily took over, since the scene was from Cinder's point-of-view, and she (obviously) cannot see her own eyes. | |

Discworld: This trope became a major rule in this series by Terry Pratchett. Interesting Times: "Gods can take any form, but the one aspect of themselves they cannot change is their eyes, which show their nature." The Lady and Fate are mentioned as specific examples. This applies to everyone in the Discworld universe. Nothing magical can change the appearance of a creature's eyes, even though you can potentially change every other part of their body. The Cunning Man in I Shall Wear Midnight has no eyes, just tunnels that let you see through his head. This is a very, very bad sign. |

Mystique from the X-Men Film Series movies usually has a perfect disguise, but her reptilian-like eyes will occasionally flash while in another form. That's mostly just to show the audience that it's her, but it is an in-story flaw, since the X-Men notice it on a video freeze-frame in the first film and deduce that the person in question is actually her. | |

In King's Quest VI, the genie is a shapeshifter who always has golden glinting eyes, even in nonhuman form. Noticing this allows you to avoid getting tricked or killed by him. | |

Variation in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: when Buzz and Mira get mutated into a single eye-stalked Blob Monster in one episode, the eye on Mira's side of the body is the same yellow-with-a-black-pupil as Buzz's (instead of her usual big blue Puppy-Dog Eyes), but still has her pointy doe-eye lashes. Played Straight in the Pilot Movie, where anyone controlled by Zurg's Zurgatronic Mega-Ray not only has Zurg's voice, but also his glowing red eyes. |

Borderline example in Hook. In this case, the "monster" is just a grown-up, but a Lost Boy recognizes him as The Pan after looking into his eyes. | |

The dragons in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid all keep their reptilian pupils when they take on human form, though the distribution of colour on the iris changes (instead of a darker colour outlining the pupil it becomes a gradient from top to bottom). Lucoa is an exception to the rule, though that's probably because she was originally a goddess. | |

The master in Krabat has the magic to take on a different appearance, but he'll always be missing the one eye he lacks in real life. Also applies to animals he creates. (When Krabat tries to run away, he repeatedly meets black animals with one eye — it's ambiguous whether they're the shapeshifted master or created by him.) | |

Child of the Storm plays with this in the sequel - Harry's picked out by Coulson when he changes almost all of his appearance by his eye colour alone because he couldn't change it (though the fact that he changed his hair colour to the striking deep red of his mother and Grey cousins was also a hint). However, this is suggested to be more due to limits on his skills at self-transfiguration, as he didn't want to risk blinding himself. | |

Digimon Fusion: Shoutmon normally averts this, as the Combining Mecha-esque nature of DigiXros means that most of his advanced forms have entirely new heads. It's played straight in the Grand Finale as a demonstration of just how strong Shoutmon's Heroic Spirit has become (and how much his people believe in him to lead them), with his normal blue eyes staying unchanged and continuing to stare down the Big Bad even as the rest of his body morphs into his ultimate combined form. | |

In The Sandman (1989) we occasionally view Dream of the Endless through the eyes of other creatures, who see him as a member of their own race or species, (whether their perception differs or he shapeshifts based on their expectations is never made clear). One way the reader always knows it's him is his eyes, which are black and seem to contain stars no matter what the rest of him looks like. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In the episode "A New Man" Giles is transformed into a Fyarl demon. None of the Scoobies realize this and instead want to know what the demon has done with Giles. Buffy recognizes Giles when she looks into his eyes (while she has him pinned down and is beating the shit out of him) because apparently there is no-one else in the world who can look that annoyed with her. This gets a Call-Back in "Who Are You?" When rogue slayer Faith does a Grand Theft Me with Buffy, Buffy-in-Faith's-body asks Giles why he can't just look into her eyes and instinctively realize it's her.

The Sacred and the Profane: Caphriel wears sunglasses because anyone who sees his eyes immediately realizes he's an angel incarnate — they look thousands of years older than the rest of their body and make viewers devastatingly aware that he can see into their souls, down to the darkest and most intimate parts of them, and loves them anyway. | |

Gravity Falls: An odd example: when Bill Cipher possesses someone, their pupils become slits like Bill's, but their eyes also become yellow, even though Bill's eye is white. (Though the rest of Bill is yellow.) Ford is apparently aware of this, since he checked Stan's eyes to make sure he wasn't possessed in one flashback, and takes off his Scary Shiny Glasses to prove he himself isn't possessed in another episode. A few episodes after that, a Bill-possessed Blendin wears goggles to hide them. Also, in the episode "Carpet Diem", whenever someone switches bodies with Waddles the pig, who has dots for eyes, they keep their regular eyes, but the person whose body is taken over by Waddles doesn't have Waddles' eyes. Also, Dipper still has his Exhausted Eye Bags no matter whose body he is in. |
